In fact, avian influenza is not as scary as we imagined. As long as we take relevant preventive measures, avian influenza will not threaten our health. So what are some good ways to treat avian influenza? Let us learn about it together.

Prevention methods:

1. Be sure to pay attention to isolation, rest, protect and enhance the body's resistance, shorten the course of the disease, and prevent complications. Those with serious illnesses or the elderly and weak should rest in bed, avoid smoking, drink plenty of water, keep the indoor air flowing and the temperature and humidity appropriate. Do not take a bath when you have a fever, because hot baths can consume physical strength. When you have a cold, you need to rest quietly. You can take a sponge bath in a warm room and change your underwear in time. For fever and headache, you can choose antipyretic and analgesic drugs, such as paracetamol and quick-acting cold capsules. For sore throat, you can take anti-inflammatory throat lozenges, such as coral grass lozenges, watermelon frost lozenges, or local nebulization treatment. For nasal congestion and runny nose, you can use 1% ephedrine nasal drops or oral Contac capsules. If you have a cough, you can use cough suppressants and expectorants. Antibiotics are generally not used for treatment. When there is bacterial infection, appropriate antibiotics can be used for treatment. Such as: penicillin, erythromycin, and ofloxacin antibiotics. Antiviral drugs can be chosen from oral administration of ribavirin, virulin, amantadine, or traditional Chinese medicine anti-infection and detoxification granules and shuanghuanglian for treatment.

2. You should exercise regularly to adapt to changes in the external environment and resist the invasion of viruses and bacteria. Taking in a proper nutritious diet, such as protein, vitamin-rich fish, vegetables and other foods, and ensuring the necessary source of calories are very important for enhancing immunity. The second is direct prevention of colds. Colds are almost all caused by droplet infection, so the most important thing in prevention is to avoid contact with people with colds. Go to public places less often, especially the elderly and babies should try not to go to these places. People who have a cold should not visit other people to avoid cross infection with other people with a cold. Open windows in the morning to allow air circulation, spray the room with vinegar, and drink more green tea on a regular basis, all of which are helpful in preventing colds.
